guess_dates() missing from linelist package-CodePudding

I'm trying to use the guess_dates() function from the linelist package and I'm receiving this error:

Error: 'guess_dates' is not an exported object from 'namespace:linelist'

I've tried restarting R and updating all packages without luck. When I query the function using ??guess_dates, the Help page returns

"no results found."

This package::function() combo linelist::guess_dates() is widely referenced by other R users.

Any ideas?? Thanks in advance!

CodePudding user response：

Try installing the package using devtools::install_github("reconhub/linelist") mentioned on the GitHub. Here is a reproducible example which worked when installing the package:

devtools::install_github("reconhub/linelist")
#> Skipping install of 'linelist' from a github remote, the SHA1 (cae034de) has not changed since last install.
#>   Use `force = TRUE` to force installation
library(linelist)
linelist::guess_dates(c("03 Jan 2018", "07/03/1982", "08/20/85"))
#> [1] "2018-01-03" "1982-03-07" "1985-08-20"
